AZ Models 1/72 scale Mig-17F "Special Schemes"

Post by BlackSheep214 »

With the Mig-21 missing canopy parts and the Spitfire 'Red Star' missing wingtip parts :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: - yeah, I know... more missing parts. :bag:

I decided to jump on this little bird...

Here's where I'm at after 2 days building...

The kit gives me decals for 3 option schemes; one is on box cover which is of The Black Diamonds Jet Team. Here's the video...

For this kit, I opt to do the 45th Experimental Sqn. Polish AF.

I plan on getting a pair of Airfix Mig-17F for the other two special schemes.

Very cool! New drinking game! So every time he loses a part, you have to take a shot.

Noisy little buggers too... screamers mostly. Then again weren't they all during the Cold War.... :whistle:
